is that huge juggy rail in? Always thought it was pocket & sloper to the crimps right of that and up from there?

[dave]

yeah I think we did the same, started matched on pocket. Those big holds are too far left to be worth using given you've got to go immediately back right to get to the top.

[Fiend]

Regardless of peak eliminates, he gets the tick for that pick-up alone  . Ideally would have tied it on mid-move. I rewound a few times and the pad doesn't move.

[Duma]

I used that rail, it's not an eliminate afaik. He does start after what I found the crux though. Shame as the pick up is ace!

The front page video with Zippy's trav in it is a horrorshow of dabbage.



Credit for going RH up on BP though

my bad

Credit for going RH up on BP though

Why credit? Its more awkward, unnecessarily powerful and not as pleasant.

  I'm afraid

If you wanna look burly (or do it Ben's way for historical reasons) you'd be going rh first then lobbing the left toe on, not heel on and going wrong handed for no particular reason at all.

good effort in doing it anyways.

I liked the guy that does the disappearing act on Zippy's, but it's definitely back around for the dabbage   

[Baldy]

Well when I went up left hand I felt like I was tricking the boulder, like a fly on a horse - trying to hitch a free ride to glory in the grand national.

Going right hand up is giving the middle finger to the boulder, and to the accepted beta.
'Beast mode engaged'
Since no one else does it that way, I have to assume it is fecking hard and therefore worthy of credit.


Maybe this will bring in a new age of BP ascents that draw a middle ground between the 'Ben' beta and the 'soft' beta
Maybe it really is 7C that way?

it was because of not wanting to last minute change beta, did it to dropping the jug before eddie came along and cruised it the other way, but by that point I didnt want to do anything different last minute when I knew it worked my way....

[JackAus]

Just dug this out... Not a dab but another great pickup.... 

[ghisino]

merde!

If you're tall or have long legs then you've scarcely any other option than to go RH first.

[dave]

This is amazing.

[Doylo]

One of the most bizarre things I've ever seen.

[Mike Tyson]

Even the dog dabs! (Ken Dodd's dads dog dabs?)

[lagerstarfish]

if that guy stopped squeezing his ribs, the climber would be able to breathe properly

[a dense loner]

Fantastic! I need spotting like that

[Scouse D]

A certain well known peak climber once spotted me like that on eatswood traverse.proper off-putting but a nice back rub all the same.

[Luke Owens]

That is proper quality, so bizzare

[tomtom]

I found the soundtrack rather disturbing and had to stop after 30 secs...

[Teaboy]

I think he fell off because his spotter pumped out

[Fultonius]

I prescribe a two week training course at Dumbarton Rock. Nothing like a classic Dumby spot:

[SA Chris]

My first thought was that the climber was disabled and you guys are beoign harsh, but he seems to stand OK by himself at the end.

Maybe they use the same ethics as swinging leads on long multipitch routes, where they share the tick between them?

[Johnny Brown]

Dave, how/why the fuck did you sit through all that to find out there was a punchline?
